Playing With Matches

What started as a means of chronicling the online dating experiences of two picky yet adventurous almost thirty somethings has turned into a chronicle of all that is, was and has made up their collective dating histories. Our two original daters are now joined by several other fun, breezy, sassy gals, and Playing With Matches is now a missive on dating misadventures, a cacophony of ups and downs, turmoil and bliss. With a bit of snark mixed in here and there.

So I was on a mission...

and it might not have been the correct mission. The right ideas were there but last night ended up translating into RJ getting some action. After a self-imposed celibacy period, I entered the dating-with-purpose scene in grand style. Though not really. He is/was younger. He wants more., I've already received the i'll-wait-til-noon-and-make-sure-she's-up-and-around phone call...though it was silly. It was one of those "what are you doing today?" conversations where the girl says nothing really and the guy can't quite get up the nerve to ask her out. I don't think I want more.

As I posted yesterday I AM TIRED OF MY MEASURING STICK. I will get rid of it.

well he's young...which breaks one of my rules. i don't date younger men as a practice. and i think he wants to date. he's taking me to dinner on tuesday. we'll re-evaluate then

whoa, buddy...this sounds promising. maybe we should re-evaluate the measures by which we live [cough limit] our dating lives. i mean, i said i wouldn't hook up with rcb knowing that he was still corresponding with HER. but, yet, we had dessert. go figure. we just need to do what we want and not care about everything else. but, alas, that is quite difficult for those of us who are perpetual thinkers/dreamers.
